Gloria TV News on the Feast of St. Francis of Paola.
A Profoundly Religious Soul
Vatican
Pope Benedict XVI used his general audience on April 1 to report on his recent trip to Africa. He told the 20.000 people who had gathered in St. Peter's Square that he was impressed by a continent with "a profoundly religious soul which unites the numerous ethnic groups that inhabit it." He also spoke about the challenges posed by poverty and disease, civil wars, the alarming proliferation of "esoteric" religious sects, and the importance of protecting family life.
No Date Set for a Beatification of John Paul II.
Vatican
During his general audience Pope Benedict XVI also told a group of Polish pilgrims that he is praying for the beatification of his predecessor, Pope John Paul II. However, the prefect of the Congregation for the Causes of Saints said that there are no imminent plans for the beatification of the Polish Pontiff: "We cannot predict a precise schedule" for the cause, said Archbishop Angelo Amato. He observed that especially in light of the accelerated schedule for the cause, his office wanted to be "particularly thorough" in its research.

On March 4 this year, Catholic pensioner Ted Atkinson was imprisoned for 12 weeks for the ‘crime’ of sending pro-life material to pro-abortionists. Martin Blackshaw from the Remnant Newspaper writes: “Unlike the national media furore sparked by Bishop Richard Williamson’s Holocaust reductionism, the Atkinson case was passed over in relative silence since the mass murder he deplores—the killing of babies in the womb—is generally supported by the media.”

Brussels
The Church of the Beguines in Brussels has been occupied by "sans-papiers"- illegal immigrants with no permission to work in Belgium. The first occupation was forced by the illegal immigrants who trashed the place. –But now the church is occupied with the full permission of the parish priest. The parish’s biggest event in the year is a Multi-Cultural Picnic in the square in front of the Church. Invasions into catholic Churches in Brussels have begun from the year 2000.
